Why I'm a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists

*I took the photo at right while on a trip to Washington DC last November. If it's this stained and peeling on the outside, what's it like on the inside? If John McCain gets elected, we can hope for more of the same.

I think the EPA sign is indicative of the way that the Bush admin's attitude on science needs to be put in the trash heap of history. I had read the article on Deborah Rice before and it infuriated me. The remainder of the article just shows how important it is for studies to provide full disclosure of their funding sources. I know that Obama isn't going to be able to wave a magic wand to fix the situation, but a careful selection on EPA head will at least help us to know that his policy will lead in a direction favorable to science.

About Data Not Shown

After about a year of blogging over at The Beagle Project Blog, I realised there were certain things I wanted to write about that might be considered a leeeetle too opinionated or off-topic to warrant posting there. See, The Beagle Project is a team effort, and I had the growing worry that with certain posts I might be infecting the others (and the project as a whole) with Karen cooties. So, while I still consider The Beagle Project Blog my primary blogspot, the views expressed over here at Data Not Shown are mine ...my own ...my precious. You can learn more about Data Not Shown, including an explanation of the title, in my inaugural post.
